And doing a pretty good job at it, too. Speaking of bubbles while swimming, that reminds me of a song in the 60's (?), Tiny Bubbles. Bubbles while swimming can inflate your suit if it's worn and losing its shape. :D Know what I mean? Shannon, consider yourself reminded. And Matt S. in a moustache ... can anyone picture that?
Don Ho, right?
Hey, Lefty! You're 100% correct. I had to search it on Google but you're a winner. The prize is Tom Ellison carrying around your towel, goggles, etc., at practices for one month, so that you don't forget anything else (like he did). :D
At the Big Ten Championship at the University of Michigan in the 70's we (Ohio State) amused ourselves by trying to determine if one of the timers in lane 2 was male or female. Ironicly, about halfway through the meet this skinny, shorts and t-shirt-clad timer must have found the natatorium a bit too stuffy and hot and proceeded to stand up, take off the t-shirt and dive in to lane 2 for a very slow 50 yard swim. Delay of meet is an understatement! The officials banished this person from the natatorium but the strangest part is: even down to a bare chest and shorts, the mystery of this person's gender is, well, still a mystery!
